Solution

The correct option is A 2 to 4 mm / minute
Spermatozoa swims / streams straight and parallely. The tail / flagella propels the sperm and can rotate like the propeller at the rate of 2-4mm/min. Human sperm are only 55 microns in length, so even a millimeter is a pretty big distance for the sperms to cover.
